I flipped through some raws for the manga, and the next case seems really interesting. Well, if the anime is still following the same track...</a>At any rate, I can't wait to find out how this case closes up. ^-^

Watched your sub last night. Great job as usual. There was one part of the dialogue that raised a question in my mind because the implications of how you translated Lin's line differed from the implications of how Shinsen translated Lin's line.

It's during the scene where Lin is protesting Naru's assignments of who's protecting whom.

Your version made me wonder something. Can Naru actually use warding spells and is supposed to be pretending that he can't? And therefore he's breaking his deception by this arrangement? Or is it that Lin doesn't believe that Naru can do warding spells at all?

Hmmm... he can't use them. Lin's not breaking a deception, he's throwing the fact that Naru can't do such things back in his face. It's not a matter of belief, Lin *knows* what Naru can and can't do in this case. He's being extra contemptuous of Naru in this line for being foolish. There's something else Naru can do and there's also something he's counting on, but Lin's not willing to let him take that risk (for good reason as we'll see soon).

Thanks for the clarification. I thought I knew all of Naru's abilities. (I'm spoiled on almost all the major points in GH.) Then I began to wonder if that line meant Naru could do something I wasn't aware of (i.e. warding spells), but that he wasn't *supposed* to be doing for reasons similar to why he shouldn't do the other stuff. I can see Lin using his statement as a way to bring Naru to task for Naru's overconfidence.

Hmmm... I'm still holding out on my theory that Naru has powers he's not letting anyone know about.... but that's just my theory. I've had it since, I think, the spoon breaking-I mean-bending episode.

Anyway, thanks for episode 20! I've started to get so anxious about Ghost Hunt, I actually had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that episode 21 came out, but then it turned out to be the translation of the manga, and then I got sucked into the story, or something, and it was pretty scary. Anyway! Keep up the good work! ^_^ Thanks!
